The time has come to meet the champion of the 2023 edition of the Copa do Brasil. To this end, São Paulo and Flamengo will face off, starting at 4pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (24th) at the Morumbi stadium. A National Radio transmits all the emotions of this ball game live.
In the first match, Tricolor Paulista was better and won the game 1-0, in the Maracanã stadium. So, now they are playing for a draw to be champion, which would be something unprecedented for the club, as the Copa do Brasil is the only title still missing from São Paulo’s trophy room.
Soberano is motivated for the second leg of the final, after an away victory in the first leg, with a goal from Argentine center forward Jonathan Calleri. The club lives with the expectation of an unprecedented title, so much so that it entered with the reserves last Wednesday (20) against Fortaleza, in the Brazilian Championship, which culminated in the defeat of the São Paulo team by 2-1. Tricolor does not hide that the The focus of their attention is actually the final of the knockout competition, and with the defeat they now occupy 13th place in the Brasileirão table.
Coach Dorival Júnior has the possibility of becoming a three-time champion of the competition, as he won it in 2010 with Santos and last year with Flamengo. Furthermore, the players are closed and committed to delivering the title the club is missing, and consequently writing their name in the history of the traditional São Paulo team.
“São Paulo is one of the most successful clubs in Brazilian football, but the Copa do Brasil is missing, so it is still an ingredient that motivates a lot. Coach Dorival Júnior, who inexplicably left Flamengo, rebuilt São Paulo, which today is once again a respected team”, assesses the commentator fromTV Brasil Rodrigo Campos.
Flamengo is currently experiencing an unprecedented crisis. With the incident involving vice-president Marcos Braz and a fan this decisive week, in addition to other disagreements between members of the squad in recent months, Rubro-Negro da Gávea is experiencing one of the most troubled years in its history in terms of expectations versus reality.
On the field things are not going well either. In the last five games, Flamengo scored just two goals, and thus fell in the Brasileirão rankings, where they currently occupy 7th place. As a result, Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli is balancing his position, especially in case he doesn’t win the Copa do Brasil this Sunday.
For the commentator ofNational RadioWaldir Luiz Flamengo has a very difficult mission ahead: “Flamengo lost all the titles of the year, only the Copa do Brasil remains. I think it’s a difficult mission, but not impossible. Flamengo has a good team, but tactically disorganized. Tactically, São Paulo is much superior. In addition to the motivation of having won the first match, they are now playing at home. I think São Paulo has a better chance of winning this title.”
Flamengo could see the return of midfielder Arrascaeta and striker Luiz Araujo. Furthermore, the Rio team will have to break a taboo if they want to be champions: never in the history of the Copa do Brasil has the team that won the first game as a visitor lost the title at home.
